The device is conveniently small and does not come with a huge notebook power adapter, but with a small 12-V power supply, which is to supply 3.5 '' - IDE disks required. SATA drives are powered via the USB cable. Only when everything is connected properly (and the 3.5 '' - disk jumpered properly) is, the device logs on as a USB drive. If no message appears, what's wrong, like here at the 3.5 '' IDE drive that did not want to run around the croak. Only the power supply was suspected to be defective; a replacement through Amazon (fast & friendly) was already under way, as it turned out by re-measuring: the short four-pin adapter cable to power the 3,5er plate had no continuity. The contacting of the cable ends is done by blade contacts; which were not sufficiently compressed in the preparation. Once shortly be repressed with the pipe wrench - it all ran normally. Conclusion: product, the manufacturer of the supplied part (consisting of four cores and two connectors) quality assurance of the production is ok deficient; the manufacturer of the complete device, the inspection of incoming goods is too lax. Or the finished system should be fully functional tested again, what hardly is at a final price of 22 there.
